Qin Siyang thought it over and decided to play to his strengths, just as he always had-tell the truth, but not the whole truth.
"Holy Son Hu, your clothes were covered in dirt and getting my bed dirty, so I wanted to change you into something else."
"Look, if you don't believe me. I even have a Bathrobe ready for you..."
"First of all," Hu Chan interrupted Qin Siyang's explanation, disguised as a frail, sickly man.
"Could you take your hand off my chest and get off me?"
Only then did Qin Siyang remember that he was still straddling Hu Chan.
"Oh, right, right. You woke up so suddenly that I got nervous and forgot."
Qin Siyang stood up, doing his best to maintain a calm smile, hoping to soften the impression that scene had left on Hu Chan.
Hu Chan sat up and gave Qin Siyang a strange look.
"President Qin, when I woke up and saw you, I immediately realized you'd arrived in time to save my life. I was just wondering how to repay you."
"But then you actually took advantage of me while I was unconscious..."
"I didn't! I wasn't! Don't go making things up!" Qin Siyang immediately declared with utter seriousness, "Heaven is my witness! I, Qin Siyang, am not into that!"
"You were sleeping in my bed, and your clothes were dirty, so I wanted to change them. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, I suppose. But I have another question-" Hu Chan nodded, his gaze darkening again. "How did you know I was Hu Chan?"
He pointed at the person beside him, who was disguised as an honest-looking, middle-aged man. "You've seen me use this face to disguise myself as a plumber. Shouldn't your first instinct have been to mistake her for me?"
